Evaluation of the New Technique of Geogrid-Reinforced and Pile-Supported Embankment at Bridge Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Differential settlement between the bridge approach embankment and bridge abutment is a major issue in bridge engineering. To mitigate the differential settlement, a new ground-improvement technique, a fixed-geogrid-reinforced ... -
Flexural Members with High-Strength Reinforcement: Behavior and Code Implications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)High-strength steel reinforcement provides various benefits to the concrete construction industry, including a more efficient use of high-performance concrete, reduction of reinforcing bar congestion, and materials savings. ... -
Energy-Based Damage Assessment Methodology for Structural Health Monitoring of Modern Reinforced Concrete Bridge Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Performance assessment of bridge structures instrumented with structural health monitoring systems requires development of deterministic methodologies producing quantitative information on different damage states. This aim ... -
Thermal Load Design Philosophies for Horizontally Curved Girder Bridges with Integral Abutments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)A small degree of uncertainty has been observed in determining the significance of thermal loads when designing the superstructure of a horizontally curved steel bridge. This investigation focuses research on a three-span ... -
Rehabilitation and Restoration of Old Steel Railway Bridges: Laboratory Experiment and Field Test
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Preventive maintenance on aged steel railway structures is all important due to their long service time after completion. This paper introduced a strengthening method for old steel railway bridges by using rubber-latex ... -
Seismic Response of Bridges with Rocking Foundations Compared to Fixed-Base Bridges at a Near-Fault Site
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This paper numerically investigates the three-dimensional seismic response of six reinforced concrete bridges hypothetically located in Oakland, California, 3 km from the Hayward fault. Three of the bridges are 17 m tall ... -

Transfer Length and Splitting Force Calculation for Pretensioned Concrete Girders with High-Capacity Strands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Pretensioned members such as AASHTO I-girders and bulb tees (BTs) are widely used in the construction of bridges. In response to the challenges of longer bridge spans and more application of high-strength concrete in future ... -
Impact of Damper Stiffness and Damper Support Stiffness on the Efficiency of a Linear Viscous Damper in Controlling Stay Cable Vibrations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Accurate prediction of optimum damper size and its corresponding maximum attainable modal damping ratio is essential for the design of a linear viscous damper to control cable vibrations on cable-stayed bridges. The stiffness ... -
Seismic Fragility Analysis of Cable-Stayed Bridges Considering Different Sources of Uncertainties
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Seismic fragility analysis is a complex process involving different sources of uncertainties. In this paper, an alternative procedure for seismic fragility analysis based on the uniform design method (UD) is proposed. UD ... -
Prestressed Pile to Bent Cap Connections: Seismic Performance of a Full-Scale Three-Pile Specimen
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The South Carolina DOT employs a detail in which piles are plainly embedded into bent caps without the use of any special detailing to the pile. The behavior of these connections is of special concern in areas where seismic ... -
Experimental Analysis of Bending Resistance of Bamboo Composite I-Shaped Beam
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)A new type of bamboo composite I-shaped beam, which consists of bamboo laminate as its upper and down flange plates and bamboo curtain plywood as its web, was introduced in the paper. In this new type of beam, a connection ... -
Lateral Live-Load Distribution Characteristics of Simply Supported Steel Girder Bridges Loaded with Implements of Husbandry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This paper discusses the effect of agricultural live-loads on lateral load distribution characteristics of girder bridges on rural roadways in the United States. In this study, load distribution factors for bridges subjected ... -
Experimental Performance of AFRP Concrete Bridge Deck Slab with Full-Depth Precast Prestressed Panels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)While application of full-depth precast bridge deck panels may be appealing because of an accelerated construction schedule and improved safety conditions, corrosion of steel reinforcement is a major factor affecting the ... -

Development of Load Rating Procedure for Railroad Flatcar Bridges through Use of Field Instrumentation. I: Data Collection and Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Because of budget constraints, many state and county highway agencies are often forced to develop innovative and economical replacement strategies for deteriorated bridges. One such option is to use a retired railroad ... -
Simplified Analysis for Preliminary Design of Towers in Suspension Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This paper proposes an equivalent suspension bridge model for the preliminary design of support towers of suspension bridges. In this simplified model, the bridge is composed of its support towers, with equivalent springs ... -
Decentralized Modal Identification of a Pony Truss Pedestrian Bridge Using Wireless Sensors
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Most of the vibration-based ambient modal identification methods in the literature are structured to process vibration data collected from a dense array of sensors centrally to yield modal information. For large systems, ... -
Development of Load Rating Procedure for Railroad Flatcar Bridges through Use of Field Instrumentation. II: Procedure Development
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Many state and county highway agencies are often forced to develop innovative and economical replacement strategies for deteriorated bridges. One such option is to use a retired railroad flatcar (RRFC) for a bridge ... -
